People from the area say this is the latest in a number of crashes in the area - and now want to see the road improved as a matter of urgency.

Ken Marshall, a lorry driver who uses the A17 to travel between Boston and Lincoln, said: “These small junctions are a nightmare to get out of when you are trying to get onto a fast moving road like the A17.

"It's a dangerous road and I have seen many near misses. The A1121 is also very dangerous. It's a nightmare to pull out of.

“You hear no end of crashes on this stretch of road and it’s usually at a junction.

"Someone will be killed before long if measures aren’t put into place to slow the traffic at junctions.”

Kelly Cartright, a Swineshead resident added: “Many of the serious crashes seem to happen on or by the A17. I know people say it isn’t the roads, it’s the drivers but if the speed limits were reduced then motorists wouldn’t be driving so fast on the A roads.”

The road was closed from around 10am until 5pm on Friday, October 20.

An eyewitness at the time said police closed the road. An ambulance and two fire engines were also on the scene.
